Here I lie in a perpetual state of wonder If you'd tell me your intentions it would break this spell that I'm under Do you know what you're doing? Do you have any respect? Or is my heart just an object to willingly neglect? You said you would beat someone up if I had a bad day Look in the mirror at your reflection Punch away
Sometimes beneath close eyelids I quest to bring you back As if you were driftwood floating Downstream on your back. I dip my hands beneath the veil And dry away the death And from my parting, weeping lips I give you back your breath- Just like the rising sunset burning In the summer sky Paints and saints the mountaintops And casts their colors bright.
Unrhymed Notes:
Sometimes I dream I can bring you back Just as simply as dipping my hands into the water To retrieve a floating piece of driftwood; Dry the death from your skin And breath life back into you The way the sunrise reanimates The Dark Mountains Each and every day.
I see your Ocean eyes open Embrace you like I'm trying to Fold you into my skin Where I can keep you always And feel your summer peach warm flesh Tangible against my permafrost fingers.
If the dead could talk Nothing profound would leave your lips They'd only quirk into a Cheshire smile And you'd tell me to let go Relinquish Move along and stop standing still Life is for the Living Death is for the dead And dreams are for the foolish.
I knew you would forget, just as soon as the sun would rise, But your words, cliché and hollow, came as no surprise. I asked but one small favor, at both break and close of day, Just to hear you say hello, but now, hope's bled away.
there were galaxies in your eyes i reached out to grab them but you turned away when you turned back to face me all that i could see was a black hole of lies where your heart should be why won't you let me touch your stars tell me all you know show me all your scars where did you go wrong
i guess i was too late the starry gleam is gone (cjw)
I can quite truthfully say I don't miss you any longer That's not to say you never cross my mind little things still remind me of you but that's all you are now a connected thought that will pass with a glance in a different direction and I am so glad
